Log in to the router’s settings screen and go to the Eco-100 Wifi -> Wifi Networks page.

Changing the name or wifi password of a wifi network

In the default configuration of the JRS Eco 100 Era router, there are 4 networks:

  • 2.4 GHz band (longest range):
    • 1. jrs (hidden network)
    • 2. JRS-Eco-100 (visible network)
  • 5 GHz band (highest speed):
    • 3. jrs (hidden network)
    • 4. JRS-Eco-100-5 (visible network)

The ‘jrs’ networks are essential for the Full Eco mode to function. Connect your devices to the hidden ‘jrs’ network so that they can wake the router from its zero-EMF sleep mode. See Quick Start Guide JRS Eco 100 Era . By the way, most Windows computers will also be able to wake up the router when they connect to the visible ‘JRS-Eco-100’ or ‘JRS-Eco-100-5’ network.

To change the name or password of one of these wifi networks, click on the ‘SSID’ or ‘Wifi key’ field for the relevant network:

  • SSID: The name of the Wi-Fi network.
  • Wifi key: The wifi password for this network. You can use the button with the asterisk to make the password visible.

Click on the ‘Save & Apply’ button at the bottom of the page to apply the change.

The ‘jrs’ network, which we recommend connecting your devices to, is available on both wifi bands under the same name. Please note that if you change the password for the ‘jrs’ network, you must make exactly the same change for both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz (two entries). Networks with the same name must also have the same wifi password!

Adding wifi networks

You can add a guest network, for example, using the ‘Add’ button for the desired wifi band (2.4 or 5 GHz).

Deactivating an entire wifi band (2.4 or 5 GHz)

It is possible to permanently deactivate an entire wifi band (2.4 or 5) if you wish, e.g. to reduce radiation even further. All wifi networks on this band will then no longer be available. To do this, press the red ‘Disable’ button for one of the wifi bands 2.4 or 5 GHz. This wifi band will now always remain off (deactivated).

Please note: If you press Disable for 2.4 GHz, the Full Eco function will not work and the 5 GHz wifi, if active, will not go into Full Eco sleep mode when no wifi devices are connected. If you want to disable one wifi band, we therefore recommend choosing 5 GHz.

This makes it possible to permanently deactivate the 5 GHz band to reduce radiation, while still being able to switch the 2.4 GHz band on and off by pressing the WPS button. Pressing the WPS button will therefore only switch the non-deactivated wifi bands on and off.

Advanced

  • Removing wifi networks: In general, we recommend leaving the wifi networks as they are. If you still want to remove the visible networks, e.g. because you don’t need them, you can do so using the ‘Remove’ button. The additional wifi networks do not result in more radiation, because the beacon signals from all wifi networks are transmitted in a single pulse.
  • Automatic selection of 2.4 or 5 GHz by your devices: Your device (e.g., phone) automatically selects the best connection for the ‘jrs’ network: 2.4 or 5 GHz. If you do not want this and want to be able to explicitly choose the wifi band on your phone, you can rename the 5 GHz ‘jrs’ to, for example, ‘jrs5’.
  • Advanced wifi network settings: With the ‘Advanced settings’ button next to a wifi network, you can change advanced settings for this network, such as the security type.
